Following on from our Bronze Award in February
2020, Audax are proud to have been awarded the Silver employer recognition scheme Award of the
Armed Forces Covenant in recognition of our support to the defence community.
What also makes Audax DNA? Our company
name comes from part of a regimental motto. Every single employee of Audax is a
veteran and both Company Directors are ex-servicemen themselves. A large number
of our customers around the Globe have served in their respective countries
Armed forces so we share a “bond” with all. It is this “Bond” of experience
that provides an instant mutual respect and trust. You will always find the
Audax stand at an Exhibition or Event with the Regiments Flag as a “rally
point” for all “Once a Rifleman always a Rifleman”.
The ERS recognises commitment and
support from UK employers for defence personnel. The scheme comprises bronze,
silver and gold awards for employers who support those who serve or have served
in the Armed Forces, and their families.
Audax recognises the contribution that
the members of the Armed Forces make to the nation through their service and
has signed the Armed Forces Covenant, to pledge our support of the Armed Forces
Community. As part of our pledge, we support: the employment of veterans; our
employees who choose to be members of the Reserve Forces (including the
establishment of Reservist HR procedures); and our local cadet units, either in
local community or local schools, where possible.
We all have a role to play in ensuring
that the Armed Forces community is not disadvantaged by service, and by
employing veterans we gain hugely from their direct experience of the
operational environment, and their personal appreciation of customer needs and
aspirations. When people leave the armed forces, they do so with unique skills
and experiences that directly benefit our business. Their potential
contribution should never be underestimated and thus are our preferred first
choice in any recruitment that we have to undertake. Thus all employees are
ex-service people and most of our contractors and consultants too.
